Classroom teaching has shifted from teacher-centred to student-centred in the 21st century. The catalytic effects of Web 2.0 technologies also allow teaching to transcend physical classrooms, by providing tools and possibilities that allow greater student independence, greater collaboration, and increased pedagogic efficiency. This is applicable in the current situation of Covid-19 where teachers are required to have a steep shift in their learning curve and transform face to face classes to online classes. Online education also meets the needs of students where there is a challenge in terms of time zone and student preference. As online education misses the element of face to face interaction, technology can be used as a substitute to engage and support students in future classroom.

This two-part introductory course aims to help teachers improve their pedagogy by rooting it firmly in the ways in which pupils learn. The first session will look at current research on learning, especially insofar as it is relevant to teaching practice. It will also cover innovative pedagogical strategies, based around the creation of classroom materials that aim to foster deep learning in pupils. The second session brings theory and practice together in giving participants the opportunity to develop approaches to planning meaningful lessons that will fully engage 21st century learners.
